History
Founded in the late Muromachi period when Heiyan Ryuzaemon invited the deity from Omiya Hikawa Shrine. It served as the tutelary deity of Motosato Village and was also called 'Yon-no-miya' (the Fourth Palace). It was relocated to its current site in 1622 CE (Genna 8) to avoid water-related disasters. During the Meiji and Taisho periods, many nearby shrines were merged into this one, and it is now also referred to as the 'Palace of Happiness.'
